1.1. Territory of intervention
2. 2. Context • More than 80% of 22M
Mozambicans depend exclusively on biomass for cooking and other activities.
• Weak economic diversification, extreme dependence of local natural resources
• Men and women are involved in the commercialization
• Limited knowledge and access to sustainable technologies

4. 4. Objective of project Work with various parties involved in the biomass energy value chain to improve management of forests, improve efficiency in conversion of wood to charcoal as well as to tackle consumption supply chain of biomass energy.
AA. . Improvement the production of charcoal and firewood• Organized producers in
Natural Resource Management Committees (NRMC) with forest management plans
• Disseminated improved kilns Casamance which are more efficient and productive (27 producers have adopted to date)
• Formed savings and credit groups
AA. Cont’d.. Cont’d.• Established two nurseries
with more than 45,000 plants (for reforestation and establishment of energy forests);
• Identified the areas for reforestation (awaiting the onset of the rains)
BB. . Biomass power consumption • Established a center with
production capacity of 3,000 stoves / month. 2000 stoves produced to date.
• Awareness campaigns reached over 4000 people;
• Trained 500 community members in the production of firewood stoves;
• Munhava and Macurungo neighborhoods for testing of improved stoves
4 Challenges to the adoption of production and more efficient biomass energy consumption• Increasing the quantity, quality and availability of
improved stoves on the market. Convincing the private sector of the business opportunity.
• Promoting and encouraging (legal obligation) the use of improved kilns for example by creating a brand for certified "sustainable Charcoal";
• Ensuring effective implementation of forest management plans in the production areas;
• Promoting alternative local micro-finance
5. 5. Role of intermediaries in the value chainRole of intermediaries in the value chain • Forestry and Wildlife Services: ensure the use of
improved kilns for charcoal production, inspection and implementation of forest management plans;
• APOCAVES (Association of Producers and Charcoal Sellers): contribute to the reforestation of degraded areas and for more just trade of charcoal;
• NRMC: ensure efficient and sustainable production of charcoal, giving added value to the product;
• Association of stoves producers: avail stoves on the market and carry out campaigns
6. 6. National policies / implications (Positive) for National policies / implications (Positive) for REDD +REDD +
• Existence of national biomass energy strategy;
• National programs oriented to the development of improved stoves Market ( FUNAE, GIZ, WB,)
• New government with "special attention" for forest exploitation;
• Role of CGRN in monitoring of forest resources at local level;
• Local curriculum ( education)
